THANK YOU SO MUCH it worked fine for reading the arabic text and I installed the GO keyboard for writing, I was afraid that it will corrupt my firmware but you encouraged me, and it runs good ... only sometimes brings application not responding -force close- but I'm OK with it, but will be nice if there are some ways to get rid of it??
The instructions in the firmware were probably written before AT&T put out the first Gingerbread update. I remember that thread about arabic in the development section when the phone was first released.

I was making an assumption without really knowing. Assumptions can get you into trouble sometimes, because they are often wrong.
I was assuming that the installation instructions were written before UCKK6 was released. But it may be that it is not fully compatible with UCKK6, and that is why the FC's. But on the other hand, maybe it caused FC's on UCKH7, and the version is not an issue. Or maybe you just need to reinstall it, or wipe and reinstall it... or...
I shouldn't really be posting or talking about this because I have absolutely zero experience with it.

no problem your zero experience does helped in fact .. because I have minus experience I just had the device a month ago and just started to get familiar with it ... today I decided to download ICS 4.1 but don't know weather it is supporting arabic or not?? you can help me if you can because I'm still junior member and can't look up everywhere, as i don't know much about the forum yet .. thanks in advance

first of all sorry if this is a repeated thread, very new to this site and no offense intended. please point me in the right direction if this is the case.
phone is very unresponsive with either a battery symbol (with circle inside - frozen) or galaxy s2 load up screen with triangle. I have previously rooted the phone with a litening rom through odin v 1.85. i was running a version of ICS on it and this morning i tried to upgrade to jellybean as a forum on this site had said it was possible. firstly in clockwork mod (holding power, vol up and home button) somewhere through the process of putting the file on the phone (instructions said to carry out the process through the clockwork mod) i have made a grave error. If I was able to get the phone to be recognised by the laptop I would be able to flash another stock kernel through odin to at least get me back functional and worry about tweaking later. Currently the phone won't recognise as a drive to the laptop though. Any advice people? Perhaps a suggestion also of a location of stock kernel for australian samsung galaxy s2 (using the virgin network).
That's just a soft brick, don't worry about it .

Hi (newb alert)
First of all thanks for all the info - followed the pistacchio thread to regenerate phone, that worked great. however, now once the phone is going again, repeatedly getting an overvoltage error message (did not have before) and the battery dying very quickly. I also cannot access the 3G network, but wifi is fine.
Can you recommend a course of action for this, not sure if i have flashed back to a complete stock rom or not, does that mean that the phone is still rooted? I would like to flash another rom if possible, but am not asking what one to use (have seen the rules of the site Sometimes the battery is even flashing . kernel version is 3.0.15-I9100XXLPH-CL118559 and build number is IML74K.XXLPH.
Any more info needed I am happy to provide. I was really happy with the slim ICS rom and would like to stick with that in the jellybean option if possible.
thanks
Go as stock as possible before going custom again.
See if issues persists.
Make sure you flash the right ROM for your device, noticed you're on I9100 ROM and you've only stated you own an "s II" , so, I cannot recommend any specific ROM because of the variants.

Hey sorry for not replying,
As I am not in scripting, I am completely unaware of such things. I tried hard with the search but couldn't find anything useful. I didn't reply because I was expecting a reply from someone with answer. I saw your thread but it is also unanswered.
You can try asking help from the people in your section working on kernels and shell scripts.

Hi, I've got a Samsung Galaxy S2 and I've got this problem where it freezes upon reaching the "4G" logo on startup. I looked online for answers and someone recommended to "Odin a stock ROM from your PC", and then they posted a link to this site. Now, I have no idea how to Odin, or what a stock ROM is, so could anyone help me out?

Yes.
Welcome to XDA.
Please go to your device's forum using the search your device box from site. type samsung galaxy s2 and choose your device from the options. Look for the stock odin firmwares thread there. Download the one from your region, see the instructions given on flashing there. If you don't understand the instructions, check out youtube videos for that.
Odin is a easy process and just needs instructions to be followed correctly.
And inform us here when you recover your phone again.

Hi,
Make sure you close samsung kies when you try to use odin.
As for flashing anything from odin, you will need to boot into download mode (vol. Down + power + home) after switching phone off. Then press vol. up, you will see a warning, first and after that comes the downloading screen.
Now make sure drivers are installed correctly, open odin, and now connect phone with usb cable, wait for some time till it shows a yellow box saying COM : ID xxx , something like that and now you can flash relevent files through relevent options. Wait for pass (green) signal and you're done.

That seems crazy, if it shows flight mode, you should also not be able to recieve calls. Seems a problem with the rom. Try wiping cache/dalvick cache /data from cwm/twrp and see if it fixes the bug. If not contact the rom developer or flash another/stock rom and reflash CM 10.1 to see if the problem persists.
Also welcome.

Well, I have gone through your thread. Please can you confirm if it is same result with different firmware? If the problem still persists, please take your phone to service centre. Act as dumb and don't let them know that you have tried rooting. They will get it fixed for you.
A Hero Can Be Anyone. GENERAL HELP THREAD
I was trying to root my phone when I got stuck in the yellow triangle screen with a GT-i9100 (even though I have an AT&T SGH-i777 device). Now before you guys all gang up on me and say I should use the search button on google/xda, I'd like to say I did read up but I couldn't find anything on my problem - I can't get into download mode and although I can get into recovery, my home button will not work there (Bummer ) I tried to connect to Odin in the yellow triangle screen but Odin will not push the .tar file (Stops at Setup Connection). Please help me!
You need to provide more detailed information before anyone can help you. How were you attempting to root? I would guess from the result that you tried to flash a kernel with odin? If this is correct please provide details. If not correct, then please explain exactly what you did in detail.
For future reference, questions should be in the Q&A forum.

Thanks creepyncrawly for the quick reply! Okay, I had flashed a rooted stock rom to my Galaxy S2 (I don't remember the stock rom code) and then I don't know what got into me, but tried to flash another kernel from www.galaxys2root.com which got me stuck in the Yellow triangle screen. But now I'm fine, I used portable adb and got into recovery mode and finally installed a stock unrooted rom (UCKH7). So I'm back to normal! Thanks again! For your help. Next time I'll read more and make sure I post the full details.
I really appreciate your help!
Glad you got it sorted. In case you haven't seen a warning elsewhere, I would advise you to avoid anything from the galaxy s 2 root website. Many users have had problems using those tools, and some were severe. You should probably be able to find anything you might need right here on xda.
By the way, UCKH7 is now two years old. You might like your phone better if you installed the latest stock firmware, UCMD8. If you want to do that, you can get the files you need from the Download Repository. Then if you want root, you should use the Framaroot application. But definitely read up first so you know exactly what you want to do, and also ask questions here if need be.

I hadn't read about Galaxy S2 Root website. I'd definitely let everyone I know to avoid that website. Yeah, XDA is amazing and more than self sufficient for every need.

Hey guys ! Today I got my International GT-I9300 and I have android 4.1.2 on it. My question is that is there any newer version from Samsung since I don't want to void my warranty by flashing a custom rom. If there is one how do I update it and if isn't any new one are the dates know when Samsung will give them out ?

no, there isnt, sorry. If you wait a while they may release a 4.2 (or maybe 4.3) touchwiz rom, but for now you have 2 options, use that rom, or use a custom rom.
There is really nothing to worry about with flashing roms, just make sure you make a nandroid backup beforehand, the only way to truly brick your phone is to be extremely stupid and flash a rom or kernel meant for a different device.
If you need to bring your phone in, just restore the nandroid backup and reset the flash counter.
Hmm, that's some weird advise you've given there.
Anyway, 4.3 official Samsung rom has been out for a few days now -head over to general forum to read the stickies on how to use odin and the official firmware thread to download the file.
You can hard brick your phone simply by ticking the wrong box in odin, so be very careful and follow the instructions exactly.

really, samsung kies doesnt have it, well at least where i live.
well that is true that you can tick the wrong box and brick, but, like flashing the wrong file, you'd have to be stupid when all the tutorials say that it bricks your device.
Simply .4.3 is rolling out officially at some stage you will get the update via Kies or OTA .
At XDA we have a couple of 4.3 firmwares that can be flashed .
But that would require you to read the faqs and guides first .
Plus the updates really have to many problems to bother with wait for later versions .

Neat rom lite 4.3 is working very well for what I need, no bugs at all (apart from the wake delay, but it's always done that to some extent).
I agree with JJEgan 4.3 update is rolling out but it is.... well how can I put this nicely the "update is not what we expected" because you don't want to root and flash custom roms I suggest you wait and read up about the new "update" if that's what it isBut at the end of the day it is your device and if you do go down the custom rom route read read read!
I have the I9300XXEMG4. So can I use this guide to get to 4.3 ? BTW the guy at 9:32 the guy says that by flashing the firmware his counter didn't go up is that true ?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs_sg7UxpoE
4.3 is due to roll out for the international s3 anytime now depending on your carrier, I wouldn't go through the trouble of flashing firmware if you dont know what you're doing , I am due 4.3 in a couple weeks according to three
